The cloister of St. Trophime, Arles, France.


The cloister was constructed in the second half of the 12th century and the first half of the 13th century.[4] for the use of the Canons, the priests who attended the bishop and managed the church property. Under a reform instituted by Pope Gregory, the Canons were required to live like monks, with a common dormitory, refectory and cloister within the cathedral enclosure, separated by a wall from the city.
